They are not a myth after all!

I finally saw my first rapide thats not a factory car! It was in stratford upon avon and every other car was a kx plate, but this one was a vx. Please dont tell me this is a factory car too.....

[Neil1300R]

There is at least one Rapide owner on here mate!
Take your point though, that they are still quite rare to see on the road.

[krisdelta]

I've seen one.....




...... in Prague.

i think that one is driven by a very good looking lady

I'll need a new company car next year and the Rapide is a serious contender.

For me it's the most capable car in the current range and it's a different and absolutely stunning take on the usual, yawn , choices.

Tempering the pull of my heart strings is the inevitable deterioation of the economic environment and projecting a questionable image of making too much money.

Your other half by any chance?

Needs detailing......haha. Sorry, had to say it.

Saw a lovely DBS volante at the leisure center too. Not one for putting my card on cars though.

If it's in Stratford then it's a factory car, most of AM management live there!

Believe it or not there are people who don't work for the factory that live in Stratford and have Aston Martins

Exactly. I live close enough to the factory (5 mins) to know which are factory cars or not and stratford does have the odd aston owner here and there.

Earlier this year on a trip to DMS I saw a Silver Rapide in Derby being driven by a Very attractive blonde lady, even got a wave...........well ok my son did.

[Colesie]

I saw a white one in Long Hanborough (Oxfordshire) a couple of days ago. First one I've seen on the road.

[George H]

I saw a gold coloured one in Spain a few months back, was on Swiss plates.

Unfortunately not my wife drives an Audi TTS but i have begged her to buy a Vantage but she just loves her little Audi, so I'm off to get a DBS next week end and will be calling you for regular detailing as long as you cover the Chipping Campden area
